Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Donny Dane (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Donnie Darko (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Dane's entrance music is Candy Paint. A fine choice. Donnie Darko struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 187.1lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. Donnie Darko told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
